Willow Reads: Books Set During the American Civil War - Page 2

"The American Civil War (April 12, 1861 – May 26, 1865) was a civil war in the United States between the Union ("the North") and the Confederacy ("the South"), which was formed in 1861 by states that had seceded from the Union. The central conflict leading to the war was a dispute over whether slavery should be permitted to expand to the nation's western territories, leading to more slave states, or be prohibited, which many believed would place slavery on a course for ultimate abolishment." -Wikipedia
